I know that there are alot of you that do not get into the creative forum a lot, so I thought that I would post this here. Lately I have been seeing a ton of requests for Tora Kouhi's help in the creative forum, myself included. She does absolutely brilliant work and you have probably seen it in many sigs lately. Just look at mine if you haven't wink

Anyways, I thought that it might be nice, and definitly deserving that we have a thread to thank our own little neo-geo.com beautifier!

With that being said, you know what to do :)

Tora Kouhi, thank you for all of the time you put in for me and all of us here. It is very appreciated :D

People used to give her alot of hell, cause she made some mistakes in the past. But OT is a good friend and she deserves some respect.

It takes time to make sigs that look good, and the one I got now she made, props OT.

Yeah I can't help but notice how many people are sporting new sigs from Tora.

You do great work that's for sure.

All the sigs you designed really liven up the place.

Out of all the sigs my two favorites are Son Gohan's and Qube's. I like them all but these two are the best IMO oh and I also like xtoo_short20x's.

Sadly, those stupid sigs completely make my old pc lag, and it's really annoying. I wish she would either:

A. optimize them
B. not make them anymore

It's getting really annoying have every page laaaaag because of those images.

On the flipside, they do look cool.

I am a good artist too because I know how to sprite rip other people's work and paste it into an image.

Now that is art.

I'd like to see them run through photoshop and optimized for web viewing...

14 80k sigs does not rock my browsers face at all.

I haven't done any long speeches in a while mainly because I longer talk shit about other boards anymore. Since this is a dedication to me, I'll make a big thank you speech full of positivity.

Thanks all of you for the positive feedback, I am glad ya'll like my work. I even surprise my talents because everyday I find out something I can do easily that I never even tried before. The latest one being tags. I've seen so many tags in my day and finally gave it my all with my <a href="http://members.lycos.co.uk/ripscity/bannersntags/ripscitykulatag.gif" target="_blank">Kula tag</a> which is not animated since I never tried it yet - then qube begged me to make a Angel tag and I became a tagging machine from there. I experimented with different fonts and styles with each new tag. I'm still a beginner, but you damn right some better tags will be made once I read up on a few lessons at Creativeminds.org

Ths thread really made my day because I think to when back in day when I was Neo Geo's bad girl during the OT era. Then when I decided to come back here as Tora after a couple failed attempts, I made the sole intention was to get along with everyone instead of being a trouble and it also involved destroying any knowledge of the person I was. I even had planned to destroy any knowledge of my original existence across the internet as well. To do so, I tried to take on an attitude on my heroine, Yamazakisgal. People refered to me as a Kyo-wa ripoff cuz of the third person thing which I gave that part up after a month but if they paid closer attention, it was Yamazakisgal not Kyo-wa who I really took after. The first 3 months it seemed I had achieved my goal of getting the respect I longed for in anime form but then some crackheads had to spoil it by harassing me to no end. I tried so hard to refrain from reverting back to my OT self. Then after 10 months, my cover was blown by one of the guys named joseph (for that, till this day I still hope you burn in hell motherfucker). He assumed it would kill me off for sure but he was wrong. I honestly wanted to kill his ass with one of my Tigresa cliche antics and take out my agression on the whole board itself. But I've been living as Tora so long that it rubbed off on my old normal self as well. Now with this thread, I am finally glad to say I have achieved what I so worked hard for.

I've done drawings, music (midi and mp3), sprite rips sprite edits (needs work still), and finally banners, tags, and wallpapers. And for all the fans here. I salute all of you :) crying

If I do a tutorial to show you how to compress these slightly, to reduce them from 60-120k MONSTERS, will you please fucking follow it?

1 is not bad.

2 is okay.

3 is getting annoying.

When 8 people in a thread have your tags that range from 60 to over 110 k, it slows my cable down.

PLEASE?
